More than likely your os is just symlinking vi to vim.

That’s what I’m trying to say - in the probably most upsetting way - All of my distros - Ubuntu, Nobara, Debian and so on: all of them have vi as a symlink - only, these days.

Not all! My arch Linux install definitely has the original vi – the one where when you cw it doesn’t delete the word until you go back to normal mode to save on screen refresh. Plugins? Custom commands? Multiple buffers? Forget it!
